Hi! Here's my story.

In 2010 I got pregnant for the first time. I talked to a dear friend of mine who told me that she had done a ton of research and all prenatal vitamins were NOT created equal. She said that by far, she felt that these New Chapter Perfect Prenatal vitamins were the best ones out there.

Now I'm going to backtrack for a second. For the year PRIOR to getting pregnant I was constantly getting sick (even though I took vitamins everyday including a good woman's daily), etc. If there was someone walking down the street two miles from me with a cold or flu virus, I would catch it. It was so bad that I had friends and family telling me that I needed to go to the doctor to find out why I would get sick so incredibly easy. But truth be told, I had always considered my immune system to not be the greatest and had always picked up illness somewhat easily...even before that year when it had gotten particularly bad. I used to joke (although it's not really funny) that if I were born in "the olden days" I would have never made it out of childhood because I would have caught SOMETHING that would have easily done me in early because of how bad my immune system was!


Back to present day! I went on these vitamins for my pregnancy in 2010 and instantly felt wonderful. Unfortunately, my pregnancy didn't last -- the baby had a chromosomal abnormality and I lost it between 8-9 weeks. I had a few girlfriends, however, recommend to me that I stay on prenatals even after losing the pregnancy while we got ready to try again for another baby, which I did and I continued to feel great. But an extra benefit which I totally attribute to these vitamins is, that from the moment I went on them, I stopped getting sick all the time.

6 months later I was lucky enough to get a second chance, and conceived again. This pregnancy has gone amazingly well. I am getting ready to enter my 8th month and every step of the way the doctor has mentioned how strong and healthy our baby girl is. Many times he has said things like "Wow - you really only see that in super healthy and well developing fetuses." I am 41 years old and this will be my first baby. I am CONVINCED that being on these vitamins during and prior to this 2nd pregnancy has contributed to how healthy the baby is. Not only that, but it has now been over a year and a half since I have gotten sick. Right now, my husband is ill -- coughing and hacking and sneezing all over the place and I am feeling just fine. I'm immune! And that is something that just wouldn't have been possible a couple of years ago.

These prenatals do not upset your stomach. You can even smell the fruits and vegetables in them, so you know all the good stuff they say that they are made of are actually in there. Yes, they can be on the pricey side but I feel that the benefits they have provided me are WELL worth it (and the discounted price of them here on Amazon has helped). The only slightly annoying thing for me is that you need to take 3 of them a day...but if you carry some around with you and just remember to whip one out and have it with breakfast, lunch and dinner, you can get into the habit of taking them on schedule very easily.

At my OBGYN appt. last week I asked the doctor if after this pregnancy I could stay on these prenatals indefinitely because I love them so much. He said that they were a great vitamin and I could absolutely do so...after menopause they might contain too much iron but until then I should feel free. I was so happy to hear him say that! I can look forward to continuing to feel good and experiencing much less illness for a long time to come! And hopefully, to having maybe one more super healthy baby (if we end up being so blessed). :)

This is a wonderful vitamin that I've been using long-term, with no stomach upset.

I assumed that buying the larger count would mean savings per pill, but not so in this case. I compared the cost per pill of this 270-count version against the 180-count version, and at least on this site as of today, the 180-count version is cheaper per pill. Do the math before you decide which to buy.

I highly recommend this item for pregnant and nursing moms who are looking for a natural prenatal vitamin. You can take this pill on an empty for full stomach. I had no trouble swallowing the pill and did not have any adverse reactions during my first trimester.

I took sample prenatal vitamins my OB/Gyn gave me, but they made me feel a little funny. I ordered these since they weren't synthetically made vitamins and made from organic foods. You have to take them 3 times a day rather than the typical once-a-day vitamins, but it's really not a big deal. They are also larger pills and not coated in the gelatinous/plastic-like conventional vitamins, but again, it did not bother me (but take the pill size into consideration if you have a hard time swallowing larger pills). I think they are great since they are made from whole, organic foods and they didn't cause any side effects. I wasn't tired or nauseous, I had a very good pregnancy, and my baby was a healthy 7lb, 10oz.

These are a great organic vitamin. I took them throughout my pregnancy and am still taking them while breastfeeding. They don't provide much calcium so be sure to take a calcium supplement as well if you don't get enough in your diet.

I began buying these when I started trying to conceive. They are easy to swallow, and have no aftertaste. I feel great since I have been taking them, and they really have helped my digestion. I highly recommend these vitamins.

As other people said in their reviews, these vitamins do not upset the stomach at all.
I don't mind taking them 3 times a day.
In addition to the Prefect Prenatals I am talking a Calcium supplement because these only contain 75mg (7.5% DV) per serving of 3 pills a day.
And I am also taking DHA supplements called "Life's DHA" by Swanson @ [...]

I hope this helps!

We currently TTC but I decided to go ahead and start with pre-natals. These do not make my stomach hurt or nauseous, I don't burp, etc. And they're whole food based. No laboratory derived "nutrients".

I have tried a couple of prenatal vitamins in different brands prior to this one, and both made me constipated. This one, on the other hand, doesn't. The multi or prenatal vitamin contains B6 tends to make me flash, but this one doesn't. The smell of this is not so pleasant, but small enough to swallow quickly with juice or water. So, overall this is a great prenatal vitamin, I am planning to purchase for the next trimester.

for months I researched prenatal vitamins and feel lucky I came across this brand. they have by far the best ingredients and the pills can even be taken on an empty stomach.
beats any prescription prenatal by length, (which even my OBGYN agreed on once she checked into what is in this pill compared to what she prescribed.)
